Specifies the output mode the signal generator uses. The output mode you specify determines which VIs and properties you use to configure the waveform the signal generator produces.

Note You cannot change this property while the device is generating a waveform. If you want to change the device configuration, call the niFgen Abort Generation VI or wait for the generation to complete.
